verything You Know is Wrong is an unprecedented opportunity to experience the research of The Hafler Trio’s Andrew M. McKenzie during his Feb/March 2015 London residency. Over the residency he will open up his research on Complementary Education over 27 days comprising of 3 hour-long sessions each day on various interlinked subjects that will demonstrate his theory and practice of Complemation.

(Please note that this series requires quite a lot of concentration and active attention, and is not a passive learning experience!)

During the sessions, Complemation will unfold through a synthesis of seminar, lecture, consultation, discussion, exploration and workshop on 27 interlinked subjects, forming a coherent and challenging approach to creativity, learning and life itself.

Section three being a further and last development, building on the experiences of the first two.

SECTION THREE:

(day 19—27/ £19-£27)

“Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast: Faced With a Choice, do Both” or “The Delight and Joy of Cognitive Dissonance”

How to walk through hell and keep going: all subjects become integrated and referenced by others, and the pattern emerges in full focus as to the way forwards.

FINAL PERFORMANCE:

Friday, 20th March —Venue and time TBA

Following the completion of the 27 day cycle of “Everything You Know is Wrong”, a celebratory function will be arranged, displayed and offered which will put into practice many of the techniques, findings and revelations encountered therein. A communal experience of sustenance of many delectable and exclusive kinds will be on offer, provided by participants in the cycle. This may well feature a new work by The Hafler Trio which shows how many—if not all—of the approaches of the preceding sessions can be implemented, and will lead on to a taste (pun intended) of the next stage of development.

HY is "Everything You Know is Wrong"?

The need for complementary learning techniques in today's environment is an urgent one.

"There are three endings to a process:

– a finish, where something is lost

– a conclusion, where nothing is lost

– a completion, which is a new beginning."

"Whenever anybody attempts to practice any spiritual exercise, they will meet with resistance from their Denying Force, which arises from their inherited instincts, drives, desires, laziness and egoism. The persistence to persevere with the exercises against the opposition of the Denying Forces is the Affirming Force of spiritual aspiration. The result of this meeting of Affirming and Denying forces is the Reconciling force. The Reconciling force is the medium of spiritual growth and its production is the primary aim of all spiritual practices. This aim is not always acknowledged or even understood and the secondary effects of the practices may be mistakenly claimed to be the primary purpose of the practice."
